Materials. The following materials are required to rig this load:
„ Sling set (10,000-pound capacity) with one additional apex fitting.
„ Tape, adhesive, pressure-sensitive, 2-inch wide roll.
„ Cord, nylon, Type III, 550-pound breaking strength.
„ Webbing, cotton, 1/4-inch, 80-pound breaking strength.
„ Strap, cargo, tiedown, CGU-1/B (4 each).
z
Personnel. Two persons can prepare and rig this load in 20 minutes.
z
Procedures. The following procedures apply to this load:
„ Preparation. Prepare the load using the following steps:
─ Ensure all components are securely attached together.
─ Ensure the storage box lid is closed and secure. Secure safety chains, hoses, and any
other loose items with tape or Type III nylon cord.
─ Engage the parking brake.
─ Ensure the launch is in the collapsed or storage position.
Note. The rocket motor cannot be safely secured to the load in this configuration; therefore, the
rocket motor box must be kept separate and loaded internally into the helicopter.
„ Rigging. Rig the load according to the steps in Figure 8-19.
„ Hookup. Two hookup teams are required for this load. The static discharge person
discharges the static electricity. The forward hookup person stands on the demolition box and
places apex fitting 2 onto the forward cargo hook. The aft hookup person stands on the
demolition box (lunette end) and places apex fitting 1 onto the aft cargo hook. The hookup
teams then carefully dismount the load and remain close to the load as the helicopter removes
slack from the sling legs. When successful hookup is assured, the hookup teams quickly exit
the area underneath the helicopter to the designated rendezvous point.
„ Derigging. Derigging is the reverse of the preparation and rigging procedures.

RIGGING STEPS
1. Place two sling legs on apex fitting number 1. Position apex fitting number 1 on top of the
demolition charge container on the lunette end.
2. Loop the chain end of the left and right sling legs through their respective lift provisions
located on the trailer chassis frame aft of the lunette. Place the correct link from Table 8-19
in the grab hook.
3. Place two sling legs on apex fitting number 2. Position apex fitting number 2 on top of the aft
end of the launcher.
4. Loop the chain end of the left and right sling legs through their respective lift provisions
located on the trailer chassis below the aft end of the demolition charge container. Place the
correct link from Table 8-19 in the grab hook. Secure the excess chain with tape or Type III
nylon cord.
5. Raise the apex fittings above the load. Cluster and tie (breakaway technique) the sling legs
in each sling set together to prevent entanglement during hookup and lift-off.

1. Place two sling legs on apex fitting number 1. Position sling set number 1 on top of the front
of the ramp bay.
2. Loop the chain end of the left and right sling legs through their respective lift provisions (a pin
located between two plates on the top edge of the bay). Place the correct link from Table 8-
33 in the grab hook.
3. Place two sling legs on apex fitting number 2. Position sling set number 2 on top of the ramp
bay at the rear.
4. Loop the chain end of the left and right sling legs through their respective lift provisions (a pin
located between two plates at the top rear edge). Place the correct link from Table 8-33 in
the grab hook. Secure the excess chain with tape or Type III nylon cord.
5. Pull the chain of each sling leg up tightly and tape or tie just above the lift provision.
6. Raise the apex fittings above the load. Cluster and tie (breakaway technique) the sling legs
in each sling set together to prevent entanglement during hookup and lift-off.

RIGGING STEPS
1. Place two sling legs on apex fitting number 1. Position sling set number 1 on top of the
generator.
2. Loop the chain end of the left and right sling legs through their respective lift provisions
located on the front corners of the trailer. Place the correct link from Table 8-40 in the grab
hook.
3. Place two sling legs on apex fitting number 2. Position sling set number 2 on top of the
tongue end of the unit.
4. Loop the chain end of the left and right sling legs through their respective lift provisions
located on the rear corners of the trailer. Place the correct link from Table 8-40 in the grab
hook. Secure the excess chain with tape or Type III nylon cord.
5. Pad the slings where they contact the unit.
6. Raise the apex fittings above the load. Cluster and tie (breakaway technique) the sling legs
in each sling set together to prevent entanglement during hookup and lift-off.

Materials. The following materials are required to rig this load:
„ Sling set (25,000-pound capacity) with one additional apex fitting.
─ Additional chain lengths, part number 38850-00053-102 (4 each).
─ Additional coupling links, part number 664241 (4 each).
„ Tape, adhesive, pressure-sensitive, 2-inch wide roll.
„ Cord, nylon, Type III, 550-pound breaking strength.
„ Webbing, cotton, 1/4-inch, 80-pound breaking strength.
z
Personnel. Three persons can prepare and rig this load in 20 minutes.
z
Procedures. The following procedures apply to this load:
„ Preparation. Prepare the load using the following steps:
─ The pump end of the flatrack is the forward end of the load.
─ Secure all loose equipment with tape or Type III nylon cord.
─ Attach an additional chain length to each sling leg chain using a coupling link.
„ Rigging. Rig the load according to the steps in Figure 8-41.
„ Hookup. Two hookup teams are required for this load. The static discharge person
discharges the static electricity. The forward hookup person stands on the engine cover and
places apex fitting 1 onto the forward cargo hook. The aft hookup person stands on the
engine cover and places apex fitting 2 onto the aft cargo hook. The hookup teams then
carefully dismount the load and remain close to the load as the helicopter removes slack from
the sling legs. When successful hookup is assured, the hookup teams quickly exit the area
underneath the helicopter to the designated rendezvous point.
Note. Brief the pilot to relax the sling tension and hover to the side of the load when releasing
the apex fitting to prevent damaging the load.
„ Derigging. Derigging is the reverse of the preparation and rigging procedures.
